The NLIWOD focuses on the advancement of natural language (NL) interfaces to the Web of Data. The workshop has been organized four times within ISWC, with a focus on soliciting discussions on the development of question answering systems, chatbots, and other NL techniques. It is a yearly highlight for the active NL interface community centered around semantic technologies. With NLIWOD, we attract people from academia as well as from industry to promote active collaboration, to extend the scope of currently addressed topics, and to foster the reuse of resources developed so far.
